The STIHL PICCO Micro 3 chain is a low-kickback, narrow kerf, smooth-cutting, and low-profile chain ideal for small to mid-sized chainsaws with between 1.5 kW (2.0 bhp) and 1.9 kW (2.5 bhp). It performs equally well as compared to the previous model, with the only difference being a slight increase in weight. This semi-chisel chain does not usually get dull as fast as a full-chisel chain in normal use and is easier to maintain and sharpen.
